The course includes 90 academic hours delivered in 18 weekly meetings, that take place in class, and 180 academic hours (and beyond) that take place at home. The training material (slides, video clips, assignments, solutions and code samples) for the entire course is organized on the e-learning platform we use during the course. Each meeting includes a theoretical lecture together with practical practice (at least 30% of each meeting). The practical practice includes coding by the trainer followed by the students and coding by the students with the assistance of the trainer.

Prerequisites

This course was developed specifically for people who already have some background in software development. Candidates without any background in software development can still participate if they pass our compatibility exam with a mark higher than 90. This course was specifically tailored for Java developers who want to move forward, evolve their professional capabilities and be on the edge.

Course Benefits

The course includes lots of relatively small assignments and a final project the students develop as an open source project and place it as a library other Scala developers will be able to use. Taking this course you will gain extensive practical experience and broad knowledge in the core parts of the Scala programming language. You will gain the required foundation for moving forward and specialize in the specific domain you target. Whether it is Big Data, Web Development or any other domain in which Scala plays a dominant role.
